First place award from the Catholic Press Association for Sr. Rose

I was very pleased and grateful to discover that my column (three pieces) had received a first place award from the Catholic Press Association last night in Denver for contributions in 2012. My pieces appear in Arts & Opinion in the National Catholic Reporter in print and online

National Catholic Reporter, Kansas City, MO, “”Bows, arrows and a sword: Girls rock this year on film,” “Cinema’s independent summer road trip,” “The media’s part in a culture of guns”” by Rose Pacatte

Nice mix of columns and commentary. The guns column made some very thoughtful and probably unpopular points in an effective way.

Rose, forgive me for not seeing that and noting it! Congrats and many blessings for the generous way you live your life and serve God’s people! There were so many awards on the list, which I admit to racing through to find the one that a book project I was involved with won, that I missed some. LIKE YOURS!
